May 13, 1911 - May 26, 2008
ALEXANDRIA — Hellen L. Johnson, 97, of Alexandria, died May 26, 2008, at Alexandria Care Center Alexandria, after an extended illness.
She was born May 13, 1911, in Madison County to Charles W. Ayers and Susan (Ray) Ayers. She has been a resident of Madison County and Alexandria all of her lifetime.
As a young lady, Hellen was raised on a farm. She was a graduate of Alexandria High School class of 1929. She married Austin Johnson in 1930. She was the oldest living member of Our Blessed Savior Lutheran Church in Alexandria and was the first woman to hold the office as president of the congregation. She had served as a Sunday School teacher and a Vacation Bible School teacher for several years. She was a member of the Lutheran Ladies Aid, Help Your Neighbor Club and a Bridge Club.
Hellen worked as a librarian at Cunningham School, formerly of Alexandria. Many will remember her as a sales clerk at Fermen's, formerly of Alexandria, for more than 45 years. She was well known for her cooking skills including her first-place winning apple pie, cream pies and her homemade noodles. Hellen dearly loved her family and showed her love by hand crocheting afghans which all of her family were recipients of. Her beautiful smile will be sadly missed but fondly remembered.
